Fireside Inn

  Grand Lake

Since 1908

Drive just 18 miles north of historic Alpena, over good roads, to home-like Fireside Inn.  Your last miles will be on a winding road thru dense forests of pine, birch, and balsam, giving hints of the joy to come.  The clear sky, the thirty-odd mile mostly wooded shoreline, and the nineteen islands of Grand Lake provide an endless variety of scenery for people on the water.  Occasionally a deer, an otter, or even a bear might be seen along the shoreline.

When you arrive at the spacious Fireside inn grounds, you will see the rambling Inn, and before you will be the shimmering 5,660-acre Grand Lake.  Here and there, over the grounds, will be cabins of various sizes.  As you step into the Inn, the rustic but

comfortable surroundings will make you feel at ease.  (There is nothing imitative about Fireside Inn—it is genuine, and has been there for a long time.)  A pot of coffee is almost always brewing; typical of our informal atmosphere at Fireside Inn.  It is safe and wholesome for children, relaxing for parents and other guests.  Automobile traffic is not a hazard, since Fireside Inn has its own semiprivate roadway, Fireside Highway.

Whether you chose to occupy sleeping rooms along the spacious veranda, one of the cabins, or one of the upstairs seeping room, you will find them clean and comfortable.  Our staff is here to serve you and make your stay with us a very enjoyable and memorable visit.
